"I put my beloved Peppa bag on my shoulders and put on a tight green uniform~♪" (the original song "Southern Soldier" in the comment area of this paragraph)

"I'm going to go to the front line and shoot a shot at the Yankea~♩"

"If I get shot, my life will be lost. Because the Yankees stole our Chinese doctors~Amazing Chinese doctors~♬"

"Please let me eat the nutritious rations of my hometown again before I die, it makes me stronger~♫"

"If I die, who will take care of my wife and children, who will support my old mother, my old mother~♪"

"But if the South fails, we will be enslaved by the tyrant (Lincoln), only because of that righteous pursuit, only because of that great freedom~♩"

"Before the south bows down to the vassals, before the tyrant comes to invade, I will give everything for the south, I will die in the southern army~♬"

……

Bowling Green, in the makeshift camp of the Northern Virginia Legion.

The aroma of the traditional Southern cereal porridge (traditional = 2 years old) fills the air, and the dultures in the sky dance with the loud singing of the Dixie boys.

Well, the Northern Virginia Legion, which had just experienced a big battle, was full of wounded soldiers.

A large number of young white men were waiting to die in agony because they had not been able to receive effective treatment, and the vultures hovering in the sky smelled the smell of dinner.

The vultures can have a full meal, but the Southern Army is about to run out of food.

General Lee's pink vest was still spotless, and the green tights of Stonewall Jackson, who was charging on the front line, had become tattered, revealing large swaths of charred skin.

He sat on the rock, gulped down the energy cereal in the bowl, and sighed vaguely: "Li, our food reserves have been unable to support us for too long, even if we eat twice a day...... Damn the British, they betrayed us! ”

General Lee took a newspaper out of his pocket, carefully placed it on a stone so as not to stain his skinny leather pants made of Florida crocodiles, and elegantly tied himself with a children's napkin emblazoned with a family portrait of Page.

"President Davis has sent a protest to the British representatives."

Eating the fat king paste with a knife and fork, Robert Lee said: "But for the time being, it seems that the British have given up their intention to meddle in North American affairs and are bent on trading with the Yankees." ”

"Where's our 'gentleman'?"

Stonewall Jackson had a glimmer of hope, "Didn't the Confederate Navy agree to send the 'Alabama' to get in touch with 'that gentleman'?" As long as we can have his support, we don't need to kneel down to the shameless Yankeos! ”

"Hey—"

With a long sigh, Robert Lee took out a letter from his bosom and said, "This was given to me by Mr. Hamilton before departure, and I didn't tell you in advance for fear of affecting your combat status, now ...... See for yourself......"

'What!' The USS Alabama was sunk by the Union Navy in the Gulf of Mexico - ahem, ahem—"

Stonewall Jackson jumped to his feet, and coughed violently from the relapse of his old illness in agitation.

Robert Lee hurriedly stretched out his hand and patted the old man's back, and said helplessly: "Our steel production is only one-tenth of that of the northerners, and the shipbuilding industry is almost zero...... In the end, he was surrounded and sunk ......"

Jackson gritted his back molars and said, "How can you be sunk...... How can it be sunk...... That's ...... That's a super battleship that cost five million dollars! If the money is used to buy military rations...... So ...... us We ......"

As Jackson spoke, the Southern military god actually began to cry with a whimper.

The southern soldiers, who seemed to be infected and ate mush while singing, also slowly began to sob, and their cries became one after another.

"Hey, don't cry!"

Robert Lee put down the spoon, beat his chest and said, "You cry day and night, can you cry Lincoln to death?" Now the only way out is to take back Louisiana with all our might, and open up the connection with Texas, they ...... They might be able to help us! (See this paragraph for the map)

"Whew!"

The battle over the past few days has made everyone's spirit highly tense, and even a veteran like Jackson is inevitably a little emotionally out of control.

He said angrily: "Robert, how long are you going to hide it from us!" I knew for a long time that the Texans had set up a separate center! They founded the Lone Star Republic, not only from the federal government, but also from the southern government, how could they still help us! ”

Faced with the question of an old friend, Robert Lee opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer, not even knowing that the child's bib around his neck was crooked.

Of course, he knew that the Texans were ambitious and unruly.

After the death of Sam Houston, the white-eyed wolf adopted by the Indians, Lone Star independents, and even pro-Mexicans, came alive again.

It's fine if the southern government doesn't cut off its ties with them, but if it does, it's like throwing a spark into a haystack and it will ignite immediately.

Just when Robert Lee was at a loss, suddenly a fast horse came galloping from the southwest.

"General Li, General Li, Your Excellency the Prague Prosecutor asked you to hurry back to the capital, he has important matters to discuss with you!"

……

Thomas Bragg was a political ally of Robert Lee and one of the financiers of the Northern Virginia Legion.

Before the outbreak of the Civil War, Prague was the 34th governor of North Carolina and later a member of the Senate.

At the same time, he was also one of the top three estate owners and slave owners in North Carolina.

It was for this reason that at the beginning of the civil war, he joined the southern camp.

But because of his status as a member of the House of Representatives, Prague also had many close ties with the major capitalists in the north.

After rushing back to Richmond from Bowling Green, Robert Lee rushed to his home in Prague before he could even polish his shoes.

Compared to his estate and mansion in North Carolina, this small villa in Richmond is not luxurious.

Robert Lee handed his little yellow hat to the manservant, and the butler led him into the house.

"Oh, my dear old fellow!"

In the living room, Prague hugged Robert Lee with open arms and reached out to stroke his crocodile leather pants, "I love your fashion outfits!" ”

Although he was glad at Prague's compliment, Robert Lee hadn't come to listen to it in such a hurry.

If there is anyone who can get food in the face of the British father's rebellion, it must be Prague.

"Mr. Attorney General, do you have any good news for me? Is it grain? No matter how much food there is, we all want it from the Northern Virginia Legion! ”

Robert Lee's innocent green bean eyes flashed, and his hands were clasped in front of his chest as if in prayer, "Mr. Inspector General, you will definitely donate this military budget generously again, won't you?" ”

Looking at the other party's expectant look, the corners of Bragg's eyes twitched.

In fact, he already regretted throwing money into this bottomless pit.

Originally, it was nothing to spend some money to defend his slave estate, but the problem is that he has been spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, which has been smashed for almost five years, and there is no hope of ending the war at all, and his own money is not blowing in the wind!

"Robert, you misunderstood, due to the Yankee navy blockading the port, the cotton in my estates has been piled up, and it can only be used as firewood, and you still have to find other gentlemen to find a way to do this kind of thing!"

Prague hurriedly cleared up his relationship, and changed the conversation: "The reason why I am in such a hurry to invite you here is mainly to introduce you to a friend.

He may be able to solve your problems. He comes from the top family in New York, and his name is Steve Vanderbilt! ”

With that, Prague pushed open the door to his study.

I saw an elegant middle-aged gentleman sitting inside, elegantly holding an aluminum coffee cup and drinking hairy tips.

"Yo, hello, General Li, my son-in-law asked me to bring you a message......

The middle-aged man took a sip of hot tea, and then slowly spoke.
